		<description>I think a little self doubt sometimes goes a long way and you can use those nerves and feelings to write great copy. I think this is something most writers probably suffer from. I know I do! I think you should talk yourself up first and have some self doubt later.</description>

		<description>Persuasive post! Thanks a lot.

I&#039;ve realized that whenever I let my inner charisma jump out and do its work, it attracts and leaves no space to doubt on my capabilities. 

The ridiculous thing is that sometimes we stop ourselves in order not to be very bold and articulate. Being mild and modest is the enemy of gaining what you want! You could be polite, but resolute and say what&#039;s right, good and proper to say at its appropriate situation.</description>

		<description>I agree with you in there. I, for an instance have experienced that a lot of times already but i realized that it&#039;s my lost i let them ruin my confidence. And then, i swear to myself, i won&#039;t let the people do that to me. i will never give them the chance to make me feel insecure with my capabilities and potentials.. OPTIMISM is very important for a freelancer. :)

		<description>This is a very good read. Unfortunately like many freelancers, I am guilty of selling myself short. Especially if it is a new client I am with, and am  unsure of what it is they want. From now on, I&#039;m going to try to be more confident in my abilities!

		<description>@Roschelle - Ahh, that&#039;s sweet to hear (not the part about the pessimists, but the part about spiting them all). I&#039;m a firm believer in the &quot;I&#039;ll show them!&quot; mindset. That always tends to pay off well. 

@Elly - Now, there&#039;s a good way to keep moving forward: by looking back. Even if you have to dig back years to that one single time you put on a brave face and put your heart in your hands and really gave it a shot - and succeeded! - I think there&#039;s something in everyone&#039;s life that they can say, &quot;Yup, I did that.&quot; And with pride.

Which means you can do great stuff again, n&#039;est pas?

@Sarah - The energy we feel about being just a little nervous or insecure does often pay off. We work harder to do our best, we make sure we&#039;re doing everything right... win. I think that feeling comes from caring about what we&#039;re doing - a lot. If we don&#039;t care, we don&#039;t feel that tingle of nerves, and we don&#039;t give it our all.

@Pamela - Freelancers by nature are, I feel, some of the most inwardly screwed up people I&#039;ve ever met - which is/can be a really good thing. They really live their emotions (well, most of them!) and through that, I think they tend to experience life more at its fullest. 

@Chet - Bingo!

@Deb - Thank you :)

@Elizabeth - Wallowing in fears never got anyone anywhere. And it&#039;s kind of silly, if you ask me. I&#039;d rather wallow in money ;)</description>

		<description>I would guess I&#039;ve probably done that as many times as there are stars in the sky. 

In a world of pessimists, it&#039;s kind of easy to allow yourself to believe &quot;you can&#039;t&quot;. But I often think back to your article about being successful in spite of what anyone thinks or says.....

....and I press on :)

		<description>As someone who tends to get twisted out of shape by self doubt too often, I appreciate your post today. I really need to remember what I have accomplished and use that to fuel enough confidence to do the next thing. Still not easy, but definitely do-able. Game face, yes!</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s human nature to doubt yourself sometimes and sell yourself short. Sometimes however the nervous energy created by that insecurity can produce great work. It&#039;s important to know that everyone feels that way even the greatest of the greats. Some of us just hide it a lot better.</description>
